Album Description
This is the perfect setting for acoustic guitarist Earl Klugh, playing strong melodies (including such standards as "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes," "Laura," "Mona Lisa" and "Two for the Road") while joined by strings and several horns in an orchestra arranged and conducted by Dave Mathews. As usual for a Klugh session, the guitarist sticks mostly to the themes and does not improvise much, as he never considered himself a jazz player; but the overall effect is quite pleasing.

My favourite late night flight!.......2007-05-10
Earl Klugh enjoyed incredible success with his self-titled debut album in 1976 and with follow ups that included among others, personal favourites like Living Inside Your Love (also released in 1976), 1977's Finger Paintings, 1979's Heart String, the Grammy Award winner, One on One (with Bob James) and, just before this one in 1980, "Dream Come True". Klugh was the veritable Jay-Z of the jazz-fusion world back in the 70s and 80s, in the sense that he rarely if ever, allowed a year to go by without releasing at least one very good album.
Many considered this particular album (also originally released in 1980) a risky departure but his fans loved it and I was one of those fans. I think the album broadened his appeal because his next album, 1981's Crazy for You (another of my most loved) was his first album to go gold.
On paper, it sounds simple enough: Klugh plays 13 well-known songs on his acoustic guitar with the impeccable precision that he's renowned for. These are all standards - songs like "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", "Laura" and "Mona Lisa" - and Klugh mainly plays solo, though on some cuts he plays with a full orchestra (arranged and conducted by Dave Matthews). The sound always remains basic and sparse though. He is joined by a handful of musicians mind you; there's acoustic bass, piano, rhythm guitar and Latin percussion here and there, and there are even people like Marcus Miller on bass on a few selections and Dr Gibb on percussion on "Jamaica Farewell".
But this is mostly about Klugh's tasteful and intimate sound, with lush and sweeping strings and horns in the background. It's truly beautiful and absolutely perfect for those late nights as the album title suggests. There isn't a dud to be found anywhere on this CD but I still have my favourites: "Nice To Be Around (Nice To Have Around)", "Like A Lover", "Laura", "Triste", "Two For The Road" and "A Time For Love".
Klugh took the theme just one step further in 1984's Nightsongs (cleverly subtitled "More Late Night Guitar"), which if possible, I love even more. For the orchestration on that album, Klugh tapped both Dave Matthews and Don Sebesky and with songs like "Theme From "The Pawnbroker"", "The Look Of Love" (Klugh's version was the first I ever heard), "Nature Boy", "Night Song" and "See See Rider", and with help from people like Barry Eastmond on keys, Brian Brake on drums, Sammy Figueroa on percussion and a special appearance on "Night Song" from Toots Thielsman on harmonica, this is also one not to be missed. Also look out for "The Shadow Of Your Smile" with Ron Carter on bass, Grady Tate on drums and a wonderful piano solo from Eastmond.
Earl Klugh went on to produce many a phenomenal album, way too many to list here but I'd say to any Earl Klugh fan or any fan of acousitc guitar - your collection is not complete unless have these two now iconic albums in it.
the best classical jazz guitar album of all time.......2006-05-31
for jazz enthusiast, this album is a must and if you don't have it your missing the greatest guitar melody of all time; its a stress-relief music that is so gentle to the musical ears particularly the rendition of EK " LIKE A LOVER" that one could possibly describe it as if your listening it in paradise!be sure to get a copy of this masterpiece.
Perfect For Late Night's Listening Enjoyment.......2003-11-17
I was introduced to Earl Klugh music by a friend way back in early '80s. Since then I have followed his recording career because of my love for guitar music. My late father owned a number of LPs of Chet Atkins, hence, my great appreciation for guitar music. The greatest influence in Earl Klugh's life is Chet Atkins, and I believe that he is as equally talented and creative as his idol.
I have collected some of the albums he recorded, "Living Inside Your Love," "Magic In Your Eyes," "Finger Paintings," "Heart String," "One On One" (with Bob James), "Sounds And Visions, Volume 2," "The Best of Earl Klugh - Vol. 2 (CD) "Late Night Guitar" (CD)and "Solo Guitar" (CD). This is the best Earl Klugh CD I own, next to "Solo Guitar." It has excellent material and impeccably interpreted by one of the greatest acoustic guitarists of all time, from the initial track Jerome Kern's "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" to the last track "I'll Never Say Goodbye." It's just perfect for easy listening and relaxation.
My personal favorites aside from the first track includes "Like A Lover," "Triste," "Tenderly," "Two For The Road," "Jamaica Farewell," and Paul Williams' "Nice To Be Around."
Highly recommended! I guarantee it will be a lifetime of listening enjoyment!
A Little Late Night Guitar Music.......2001-12-16
I was very glad to see this come out on CD, since my old cassette tape went south (just like all of them do eventually). This collection made me an Earl Klugh fan. Songs like "Jamaica Farewell" and "Mirabella" also got me more interested in acoustic guitar and learning to play it (albeit pretty raggedly). I would have added a few more Klugh gems to this collection, since it's rather short. But overall, for relaxing music, this is a fine CD.
"WHEN IT'S TIME FOR LOVE...".......2001-03-05
put on "Late Night Guitar," Earl Klugh's masterpiece, to set the mood off right. Songs like "Tenderly," "Mona Lisa," "Like a Lover," and my favorite, "I'll Never Say Goodbye (The Promise)" put one in a state of pure relaxation and a desire to be with the one you love. Earl's playing is so melodic and filled with so much emotion, you're completely taken in by his artistry. From first song to last, you're hooked. The flow of this CD is simply beautiful. One of my favorite periods in Jazz is the '70's and some of the best artists (Noel Pointer, Grover Washington Jr., David Sanborn to name a few)who came out of that era of Jazz-Fusion continue to be my favorites. Earl is one of them. I've got a lot of his work and this is what I consider a classic. A must have for Earl Klugh fans.

Will happily upgrade this to a 5 star..........2007-08-01
Really amazing and soothing music, up until the last track. Can anyone explain the 4.5 minute gap after the first 4 minutes of Highways? I thought the CD was defective until I ordered a replacement and found it was the same. Without the last track this album deserves a 5.
hypnotic yet melodic.......2007-05-10
one song is reminiscent of an instrumental version of All I want is you by U2... Can become repetitive over time...
The Spaces You Forgot to Listen In.......2005-03-29
If you were dreaming and driving at night with someone you love, this album is what you would hear on the wind.
We've got access finally to a lot of independent, new music. This is a time to explore and if you're up for it, anything by Lanterna (Henry Frayne is the key individual) is worth the time and the money. Highways is the latest incarnation of this talented musician's sonic mind. I listen to Highways in the early morning and sometimes driving by myself at night. This is definitely music to listen to by yourself. It is music for the soul--jangly guitar, acoustic rhythms, textured drums, poetic vibrations, and ambient sounds...even an intentional few minutes of silence in there on the title track for those of us who pay attention--and a payoff afterwards...kind of an untitled new composition.
Word is that Lanterna's coming out with a new album sometime in the summer so pay attention. Highways is a great jumping point for the uninitiated though. Elm Street is still my favorite, but I'm really looking forward to the next edition. Stay tuned.
Henry Frayne gives us more luminescent guitarscapes.......2004-03-02
An hour with Henry Frayne, creator of music under the band name Lanterna, is a little like an hour of exploring the ocean depths or the vast reaches of space. He creates sonic pictures of the mind with his lingering, layered electric guitar chords and atmospheric melodies. The leadoff track, "Clear Blue," is just the latest fine example of Mr. Frayne's instrumental art. It shimmers with a kind of subliminal beauty, made by echoing sustained guitar tones that could be described as "ambient," but are best appreciated without concern for category. The CD is called Highways, and listening to its nine tracks is indeed something like a journey along the back roads, sometimes in contemplation and sometimes in sheer enjoyment. On this fourth Lanterna disc, the trend continues (begun on the Sands CD) of mixing in more of a rock feeling with some of the songs. This time it's on the Metheny-esque "Brooklyn" and especially on "Brightness," which features some David Gilmour-like choppy electric guitar chords.
As much of a huge Lanterna fan as I am, I'm a little sad to hear some signs of stagnation on Highways. A song such as "Canyons," a gentle acoustic-electric number that never really goes anywhere, makes me wonder if Henry has taken this particular "instrumental themes" thing about as far as it'll go. I hope not, because I'm still prepared to travel along with him for awhile longer.

When the mid-'70s Jonathan Richman traded the "snotty," Velvet Underground-tinged sensibility of the original Modern Loves for a strummed, twangy electric style and an even lighter percussion sound, he didn't give up his convictions. The 22 cuts here, drawn from Rounder releases from the '80s and '90s, are as joyful and unironic as anything cut during those years. He explicitly acknowledges his roots in the innocent '60s on "Parties in the U.S.A.," both lyrically and in its borrowed "Hang On Sloopy" riff, and he reaches back to the Collins Kids' rockabilly nugget for this collection's title track. Richman celebrates urban delights ("I Was Dancing in the Lesbian Bar," "Cappuccino Bar," "Vampire Girl"), but these tunes find him digging ranches ("Circle I") and island jaunts (an expansion of "Bermuda" includes a pointed jab at the old Lovers' "She Cracked"). Openheartedly, he even cut a whole album in Nashville (well, Springfield, Missouri) style and a long-player in Spanish. Finally, "She Doesn't Laugh at My Jokes" sounds like the product of a much less damaged Brian Wilson circa The Beach Boys Love You. --Rickey Wright

Get to know Jonathan!.......2007-03-18
When I was a teenager in the mid 70's living in NJ, there was a NY FM station (WNEW) that was just the only one I listened to - one dee jay, the morning man, Dave Herman, used to occasionally play an artist that was out of the mainstream, simple yet with something going on. He turned me onto many of my favorite groups at the time, The Roches, Jonathon Richman, Ramones, T.Heads. In later years he did the "something old, some thing new, borrowed & blue" allowing listeners to program thematically a small 4 song set - I entered several times; in fact, he was invited and read our wedding invitation (1980) on the air...I digress. That was where I first heard one of the tracks off Beserkley Chartbusters, either Government Center or The New Teller (still love that one). Anyway, I went nuts to buy it, instead found original The Modern Lover's album, and it was very different; had JoJo's love of the Velvet Underground all over it, with several added layers of snottiness - when Beserkley Chartbuster's had come out, JoJo must've had already visited Bermuda and was off in his own direction apparently...(listen to THIS album, being reviewed, to better understand). I loved Roadrunner, bought the next JP & ML album (with alternative version of the world famous Roadrunner on it) and started following the band around the tri-state whenever they played. Only thing is that JoJo never played anything from the albums I loved - he was taking off his shirt and crawling around the stage singing that he was "a little dinosaur", or running around like "a little airplane". It was great. Over the years I purchased the vinyl albums, but somewhere around the Egyptian Reggae era, I stalled.
I listen to Yahoo Launch radio and they played (on my station) some JoJo a few weeks ago, the song where he explains his trip to Bermuda's impact on his musical values and leanings, and I was back - back in my old room, headphones plugged in, listening to a stack of albums. So I ordered up several JoJo albums. And now my 8 & 9 year old kids can't get enough either - I cracked out the old vinyl and played them 'Pablo Picasso' (who was so jealous, he "turned the color of an avocado") on their own record player, and they didn't believe it was from the same dude - "that guy who has fun singing but not like a regular singer".
Anyway, my 5 stars are obviously based not just on content, eh? But you owe it to yourself to get to know JoJo, listen with your heart and pretend that life isn't slathered with reality, and come on a fantasy trip, where there are parties somewhere right next door, with potato chips and guys playing guitars, and that you can walk right in and start dancing...and perhaps hopefully end up dancing in a lesbian bar.
Very Good.......2003-03-02
I, at one point, owned all of Jonathan's Rounder material. "I, Jonathan" is a great album; "Jonathan Goes Country" is better than you would ever imagine. But on all of Jonathan's Rounder albums there are some songs I really feel are not needed. "I, Jonathan" and "Jonathan Goes Country" both contain remakes of some of his better late seventies and early eighties cuts for Beserkly and Sire--"Corner Store" and "That Summer Feeling" for example--which pale in comparison to the originals. What this best of collection does, contrary to some of the other reviewers' opinions here, is give you a very good representation of his best material for Rounder. If you really want a good collection of Jonathan, buy this cd, pick up "Jonathan Sings," and "The Beserkley Years: The Best of." I would hope to God that you would already own "The Modern Lovers."
Of course it ain't perfect but who's counting.......2002-12-17
As the liner notes state (which by the way are a great addition to the package) favorite songs are going to be left off.
It seems they went heavier on the Richman albums that aren't as popular and rather skim on the classic discs. Why do we get four cuts from the mediocre "Having A Party" and only two from the his much agreed upon masterpiece "I,Jonathan"? Why four from the OK "You Must Ask the Heart" and only two from the great "Modern Lover's 88".
It's a good disc because simply it's Jonathan and it's a good sampling of a phase of Jonathan's life. Keep in my mind this isn't an introduction to Jonathan's music, just a snapshot of a particular time. This is a good album to have if you can't afford the albums the songs individually came off of. You are missing out on some classics by doing that however (When Harpo played his Harp,That Summer Feeling). I suppose you are getting treated to some classics too (New Kind of Neighborhood,Parties in the USA). My only complaint with this is the complaint I have with all "best of.." collections is that it never is the best of and often times it can be the worst if. (I really think Reno is a terrible song).
Four Stars for the music, Three for the idea.
Richman offers a solid overview of his years on Rounder.......2002-06-07
This 22-track collection could have featured some of Jonathan's forays into instrumentals ("Blue Moon," "Grunion Run") or spoken-word pieces ("1963," "Twilight in Boston"). There, I'm done quibbling... What this disc lacks in variety, it compensates by showcasing Richman's strengths as a songwriter. His songs from this period (1988-95, on the folk-based indie label Rounder) generally revolve around relationships ("You Must Ask the Heart"), music ("Fender Stratocaster"), dancing/partying ("I Was Dancing in the Lesbian Bar," "Parties in the U.S.A."), rural joys ("Circle I"), urban delights ("Reno"), and the minutiae of daily life ("Everyday Clothes"). The simple rock 'n' roll arrangements place Jonathan's often humorous lyrics front and center. Action Packed is a solid introduction to Richman's post-Modern Lovers career. Fringe Benefit: The liner notes include Jonathan's charming third-person account of his "First Twenty Years in Show Business."
"Jonathan, don't get all excited...but I do!! and I am!!".......2002-05-22
Jonathan writes rock and roll songs. They could have been written in the 1950s or 1960s, but there's also a sense of timelessness about them. Like Ray Davies, Jonathan doesn't write about Big Subjects. He writes about everyday clothes, cappucino bars, love, and occasionally Bermuda or Vampire Girls for fun. And like Ray Davies, his focus on the everyday, combined with his big heart, makes him one of the best rock songwriters ever.
This is a grand collection of the music he did for Rounder Records. Jonathan sharpened his focus and honed his craft during his time on Rounder, and this terrific selection of songs shows that. Most of the music here is Jonathan as a solo artist ("believe me, it's better that way") putting his heart out there, as open as the sky and beautiful as the moon. The material ranges from the rockin' (Parties in the USA, Dancing In The Lesbian Bar, Fender Stratocaster) to 50s-style country (Reno, The Neighbors) to wistful balladry (The Girl Stands Up To Me Now, You Must Ask The Heart). Every song on here is a gem waiting to be discovered.
There's not much any reviewer can say that can match the songs themselves. Jonathan's interviewers and attempted biographers all find a guy who hasn't got much to say about his life or his music. That's because his life is his music, and his music tells you all you need to know about Jonathan. His music is clear and honest and speaks from the heart, and in the final analysis, that's exactly what music is supposed to do. To Jonathan's credit, that's what he's done since the Modern Lovers days, and that's what he says he'll do "until it stops being fun." Let's hope it stays fun for a long, long time.

Album Description
Midnight roams. Dirty cities. Insomniac maniacs. Street vendor roses. Corner dwellers. Secret passageways. Glory. Heroes in stereo. Shanty towns. Night trains. Real eyes. Half wishes.
This is Atlanta-based singer/songwriter Faith Kleppinger's debut solo album, "Asleep In The Well" -- a stripped-down, woozy, late-night drift through softly-sung stories.
Unique lyrical observances and a dreamy sense of melody are the pillars of Kleppinger's songwriting. "Asleep In The Well" is a portrait of this talent loose and in the raw. Enjoy.
Customer Reviews:
Stay Sleeping.......2003-11-29
Faith Kleppinger originally began her career as part of the seminal Atlanta-based roots-pop band, Little Bobby Taylors, but is finally releasing her atmospheric solo debut, Asleep In The Well. Kleppinger has some big expectations to live up to, as she's a current three-year vet of the CMJ New Music Marathon. Vocally reminiscent of Kristin Hersh without the throatiness and Courtney Love without the alcohol addiction, her singing is fragile and unsure of herself. One of the aspects, which will make Kleppinger stand out amongst her peers, are her observant imagistic lyrics which fuel the haunting (and perhaps Italo Calvino inspired) "City Three," and "Double Negative." Contributing to the disc are former Sugar-member David Barbe, and Blake Rainey who duets with Kleppinger on "Double Negative" and "Howlaround." Though Kleppinger might've fell asleep in the well with her latest album, it's evident she has enough talent and determination to claw her way out.
Indie Queen.......2002-05-17
Forget Cat Power - Faith Kleppinger is the queen of intimate indie rock.
Songwriting at its Finest.......2002-05-17
If you like great music dreamy with a soft spoken delivery, this CD is for you. These stark songs all have their own unique beauty - especially City 3, Frames, and Runaround. This isn't folk music, but real songs played and displayed on an intimate level. Excellent debut!

Album Description
This is the perfect setting for acoustic guitarist Earl Klugh, playing strong melodies (including such standards as "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes," "Laura," "Mona Lisa" and "Two for the Road") while joined by strings and several horns in an orchestra arranged and conducted by Dave Mathews. As usual for a Klugh session, the guitarist sticks mostly to the themes and does not improvise much, as he never considered himself a jazz player; but the overall effect is quite pleasing.
Customer Reviews:
My favourite late night flight!.......2007-05-10
Earl Klugh enjoyed incredible success with his self-titled debut album in 1976 and with follow ups that included among others, personal favourites like Living Inside Your Love (also released in 1976), 1977's Finger Paintings, 1979's Heart String, the Grammy Award winner, One on One (with Bob James) and, just before this one in 1980, "Dream Come True". Klugh was the veritable Jay-Z of the jazz-fusion world back in the 70s and 80s, in the sense that he rarely if ever, allowed a year to go by without releasing at least one very good album.
Many considered this particular album (also originally released in 1980) a risky departure but his fans loved it and I was one of those fans. I think the album broadened his appeal because his next album, 1981's Crazy for You (another of my most loved) was his first album to go gold.
On paper, it sounds simple enough: Klugh plays 13 well-known songs on his acoustic guitar with the impeccable precision that he's renowned for. These are all standards - songs like "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", "Laura" and "Mona Lisa" - and Klugh mainly plays solo, though on some cuts he plays with a full orchestra (arranged and conducted by Dave Matthews). The sound always remains basic and sparse though. He is joined by a handful of musicians mind you; there's acoustic bass, piano, rhythm guitar and Latin percussion here and there, and there are even people like Marcus Miller on bass on a few selections and Dr Gibb on percussion on "Jamaica Farewell".
But this is mostly about Klugh's tasteful and intimate sound, with lush and sweeping strings and horns in the background. It's truly beautiful and absolutely perfect for those late nights as the album title suggests. There isn't a dud to be found anywhere on this CD but I still have my favourites: "Nice To Be Around (Nice To Have Around)", "Like A Lover", "Laura", "Triste", "Two For The Road" and "A Time For Love".
Klugh took the theme just one step further in 1984's Nightsongs (cleverly subtitled "More Late Night Guitar"), which if possible, I love even more. For the orchestration on that album, Klugh tapped both Dave Matthews and Don Sebesky and with songs like "Theme From "The Pawnbroker"", "The Look Of Love" (Klugh's version was the first I ever heard), "Nature Boy", "Night Song" and "See See Rider", and with help from people like Barry Eastmond on keys, Brian Brake on drums, Sammy Figueroa on percussion and a special appearance on "Night Song" from Toots Thielsman on harmonica, this is also one not to be missed. Also look out for "The Shadow Of Your Smile" with Ron Carter on bass, Grady Tate on drums and a wonderful piano solo from Eastmond.
Earl Klugh went on to produce many a phenomenal album, way too many to list here but I'd say to any Earl Klugh fan or any fan of acousitc guitar - your collection is not complete unless have these two now iconic albums in it.
the best classical jazz guitar album of all time.......2006-05-31
for jazz enthusiast, this album is a must and if you don't have it your missing the greatest guitar melody of all time; its a stress-relief music that is so gentle to the musical ears particularly the rendition of EK " LIKE A LOVER" that one could possibly describe it as if your listening it in paradise!be sure to get a copy of this masterpiece.
Perfect For Late Night's Listening Enjoyment.......2003-11-17
I was introduced to Earl Klugh music by a friend way back in early '80s. Since then I have followed his recording career because of my love for guitar music. My late father owned a number of LPs of Chet Atkins, hence, my great appreciation for guitar music. The greatest influence in Earl Klugh's life is Chet Atkins, and I believe that he is as equally talented and creative as his idol.
I have collected some of the albums he recorded, "Living Inside Your Love," "Magic In Your Eyes," "Finger Paintings," "Heart String," "One On One" (with Bob James), "Sounds And Visions, Volume 2," "The Best of Earl Klugh - Vol. 2 (CD) "Late Night Guitar" (CD)and "Solo Guitar" (CD). This is the best Earl Klugh CD I own, next to "Solo Guitar." It has excellent material and impeccably interpreted by one of the greatest acoustic guitarists of all time, from the initial track Jerome Kern's "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" to the last track "I'll Never Say Goodbye." It's just perfect for easy listening and relaxation.
My personal favorites aside from the first track includes "Like A Lover," "Triste," "Tenderly," "Two For The Road," "Jamaica Farewell," and Paul Williams' "Nice To Be Around."
Highly recommended! I guarantee it will be a lifetime of listening enjoyment!
A Little Late Night Guitar Music.......2001-12-16
I was very glad to see this come out on CD, since my old cassette tape went south (just like all of them do eventually). This collection made me an Earl Klugh fan. Songs like "Jamaica Farewell" and "Mirabella" also got me more interested in acoustic guitar and learning to play it (albeit pretty raggedly). I would have added a few more Klugh gems to this collection, since it's rather short. But overall, for relaxing music, this is a fine CD.
"WHEN IT'S TIME FOR LOVE...".......2001-03-05
put on "Late Night Guitar," Earl Klugh's masterpiece, to set the mood off right. Songs like "Tenderly," "Mona Lisa," "Like a Lover," and my favorite, "I'll Never Say Goodbye (The Promise)" put one in a state of pure relaxation and a desire to be with the one you love. Earl's playing is so melodic and filled with so much emotion, you're completely taken in by his artistry. From first song to last, you're hooked. The flow of this CD is simply beautiful. One of my favorite periods in Jazz is the '70's and some of the best artists (Noel Pointer, Grover Washington Jr., David Sanborn to name a few)who came out of that era of Jazz-Fusion continue to be my favorites. Earl is one of them. I've got a lot of his work and this is what I consider a classic. A must have for Earl Klugh fans.
